165028 Launton 30 January 2025

165028 passes Launton on 30 January 2025 with the 5F91 09:10 Oxford to Milton Keynes Central Chiltern Railways route learner. This is on the yet to be reopened Bicester to Milton Keynes route, which has seen considerable upgrading, including the reinstatement of double track. The unit is passing the site of the former level crossing, which has been replaced by a new bridge from which this picture was taken. In the background is one of several new footbridges on the line, with the tower of Bicester church visible in the distance.
